Moving Forward –<br />
Making<br />
Progress<br />
As we look forward<br />
to the first day of<br />
school on Monday,<br />
August 13, there is<br />
much to be excited<br />
about in the Saint<br />
Dr. Kelvin Adams<br />
<strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
District. Thanks to the hard work of our<br />
students <strong>and</strong> teachers, the District is<br />
making progress <strong>and</strong> on the right track.<br />
Last year, SLPS earned six accreditation<br />
points for the first time ever during the<br />
Missouri <strong>School</strong> Improvement Program IV<br />
Cycle. To top that off, 16 District schools<br />
earned Adequate Yearly Progress as<br />
recognized by the No Child Left Behind<br />
Act. We look forward to even greater<br />
academic improvement this year.<br />
Moving forward, this year all District<br />
3 rd grade students will participate in the<br />
iPad initiative. Our 3 rd grade teachers<br />
are being provided with additional<br />
professional development to help our<br />
students use iPads in the classroom as<br />
additional learning aids. The District is<br />
also piloting the iPad initiative with<br />
selected 4 th grade students this year.<br />
We added 37 additional early<br />
childhood classrooms during the past<br />
school year to open up preschool<br />
opportunities for more than 700 additional<br />
children in <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> City. Our commitment<br />
to providing the youngest children in<br />
our community with access to high-quality<br />
preschool classrooms taught by certified<br />
teachers continues this year. We are<br />
proud to offer our full-day preschool<br />
classrooms on a tuition-free basis for<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> City residents.<br />
The <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> District is<br />
joining other districts nation-wide in<br />
embracing the Common Core <strong>St</strong><strong>and</strong>ards<br />
for mathematics <strong>and</strong> language arts. These<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ards will improve teaching <strong>and</strong><br />
learning to ensure that all children will<br />
graduate high school with the skills they<br />
need to be successful. Parent guides to<br />
these st<strong>and</strong>ards are being developed for<br />
each grade level <strong>and</strong> will be available on<br />
the District website at www.slps.org under<br />
the Parents & <strong>St</strong>udents tab.<br />
During the summer months the District<br />
has also continued moving forward with<br />
our Proposition S facility improvements<br />
<strong>and</strong> upgrades. Thanks to the generosity of<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> City voters, the District is in the<br />
process of making more than $150 Million<br />
in improvements to our school buildings.<br />
Our students will enjoy new state-of-theart<br />
science labs <strong>and</strong> cafeterias, upgraded<br />
technology <strong>and</strong> added security features,<br />
as well as improved athletic facilities.<br />
The summer was an exciting time for<br />
more than 5,400 students who attended<br />
the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong>s summer<br />
school program. During the month of<br />
June, children in preschool – 12 th grade<br />
participated in project based learning,<br />
enrichment programs, credit recovery<br />
programs <strong>and</strong> transition programs,<br />
all offered to help our students become<br />
better prepared for the upcoming<br />
school year. As the final bell rang for<br />
summer school, more than 1,600 students<br />
were recognized for achieving perfect<br />
attendance for the entire summer<br />
school schedule.<br />

District Names the <strong>2012</strong><br />
SLPS Teacher of the Year<br />
Ms. Julie Beede, a Music Specialist at Dewey International <strong>St</strong>udies Elementary<br />
<strong>School</strong>, was named the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> District’s <strong>2012</strong> Teacher of the Year.<br />
SLPS Superintendent Dr. Kelvin R. Adams made the announcement during the school’s<br />
morning assembly, which was attended by all Dewey students <strong>and</strong> staff members.<br />
“It was a wonderful surprise to receive this award in<br />
front of my Dewey family! Teachers work very hard on<br />
behalf of their students <strong>and</strong> their schools. I am grateful<br />
for the recognition. As SLPS Teacher of the Year, I am<br />
pleased that music, <strong>and</strong> those who teach it, are valued<br />
by the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong>s,” said Beede.<br />
An educator with the District since 2000, Ms. Beede<br />
believes that music <strong>and</strong> the arts embody the purest form<br />
of human expression <strong>and</strong> enhances underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong><br />
achievement in the other academic areas. After joining<br />
Dewey International <strong>St</strong>udies Elementary <strong>School</strong> in 2010,<br />
she promptly began to restore the school’s stage so that her<br />
students could have a venue to display their developing<br />
music skills as well as having the opportunity to<br />
experience live performances by accomplished musicians.<br />
In addition, Ms. Beede renovated the school’s Keyboard<br />
Lab, <strong>and</strong> taught her students to play recorders, keyboards<br />
<strong>and</strong> Orff instruments, showcasing her students’ knowledge<br />
<strong>and</strong> talents at school concerts <strong>and</strong> mini-musicals.<br />
Dr. Zitta, the principal at Dewey who nominated<br />
Beede for the 2011 SLPS Elementary Music Teacher<br />
of the Year award, which in turn made her an eligible<br />
c<strong>and</strong>idate for the District’s Teacher of the Year award,<br />
stated, “She has created an attractive <strong>and</strong> print-rich<br />
learning environment. Communication Arts are supported<br />
in her music class with journal <strong>and</strong> homework<br />
assignments. MAP – formatted question strips are visible<br />
along with student work <strong>and</strong> the beginnings of a word<br />
wall, <strong>and</strong> she used technology on a supportive <strong>and</strong><br />
transformative level in her classes on a daily basis.”<br />
As the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> District’s <strong>2012</strong><br />
Teacher of the Year, Ms. Beede is now eligible to<br />
compete for the Missouri Teacher of the Year honor,<br />
to be chosen at a later date.<br />
“Ms. Beede believes that music <strong>and</strong> the arts embody the purest<br />
form of human expression <strong>and</strong> enhances underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong><br />
achievement in the other academic areas.”<br />

or are wards of the state, <strong>and</strong> children<br />
with disabilities attending private schools<br />
who are under the jurisdiction of the<br />
agency, regardless of the severity of the<br />
disability. This includes children attending<br />
private schools, including non-residents if<br />
attending private schools within the agency’s<br />
jurisdiction, highly mobile children, such as<br />
migrant <strong>and</strong> homeless children, <strong>and</strong> children<br />
who are suspected of having a disability <strong>and</strong><br />
in need of special education even though<br />
they are advancing from grade to grade.<br />
Identification of children with disabilities<br />
<strong>and</strong> programming for such children will<br />
be implemented after a determination of<br />
eligibility. The <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> District<br />
assures that it will provide a free, appropriate<br />
public education (FAPE) to all eligible children<br />
with disabilities between the ages of 3 <strong>and</strong> 21<br />
under its jurisdiction either locally or through<br />
contractual arrangements in accordance<br />
with RSMo [162.675(2)(3)] <strong>and</strong> the Individuals<br />
with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).<br />
EARLY INTERVENTION<br />
The <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> District<br />
assures that it will provide information <strong>and</strong><br />
referral services necessary to assist the <strong>St</strong>ate<br />
in the implementation of the Part C early<br />
intervention system (First <strong>St</strong>eps) for infants<br />
<strong>and</strong> toddlers suspected of having a disability.<br />
CONFIDENTIALITY<br />
The <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> District assures<br />
that personally identifiable information<br />
collected, used, or maintained by the<br />
agency for the purposes of identification,<br />
evaluation, placement or provision of FAPE<br />
of children with disabilities may be inspected<br />
<strong>and</strong>/or reviewed by their parents. Parents<br />
may request amendment to the educational<br />
record if the parent believes the record is<br />
inaccurate, misleading, or violates the privacy<br />
or other rights of their child. Parents may<br />
register a complaint with the U.S. Department<br />
of Education or the Missouri Department<br />
of Elementary <strong>and</strong> Secondary Education<br />
(DESE) if they feel the agency is in violation<br />
of the Family Educational Rights <strong>and</strong><br />
Privacy Act (FERPA).<br />
The <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> District has<br />
adopted the Missouri Local Compliance Plan<br />
for the implementation of <strong>St</strong>ate Regulations<br />
for the Individuals with Disabilities Education<br />
Act (IDEA). This plan contains the agency’s<br />
policies <strong>and</strong> procedures regarding storage,<br />
disclosure to third parties, retention <strong>and</strong><br />
destruction of personally identifiable<br />
information <strong>and</strong> the agency’s assurances<br />

PETTUS FOUNDATION<br />
“We enthusiastically support this important program that recognizes the outst<strong>and</strong>ing achievements<br />
of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> teachers <strong>and</strong> principals <strong>and</strong> provides us with the opportunity<br />
to share their successful philosophies <strong>and</strong> best practices which help so many students succeed.”<br />
– CHRIS LEE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ST. LOUIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOUNDATION<br />
<br />
Pettus Foundation Awards For Excellence<br />
In December 2007, the Pettus Foundation pledged a generous three-year $330,000 grant to the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong>s<br />
Foundation to support a program that honors <strong>and</strong> recognizes outst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> (SLPS) principals<br />
<strong>and</strong> teachers for their accomplishments in schools <strong>and</strong> classrooms. The Awards of Excellence program recognizes<br />
teachers who demonstrate excellence in teaching by inspiring all students to achieve <strong>and</strong> who have the respect <strong>and</strong> admiration<br />
of their students, parents <strong>and</strong> colleagues. They must also have an active role in creating a positive culture in their school.<br />
Outst<strong>and</strong>ing SLPS principals who inspire staff <strong>and</strong> students to achieve <strong>and</strong> who have the respect <strong>and</strong> admiration of their<br />
teachers, staff, students, parents <strong>and</strong> colleagues are also recognized. The goal of the program is to honor <strong>and</strong> promote the<br />
work <strong>and</strong> educational strategies that are succeeding <strong>and</strong> inspire others to replicate that success. Every teacher <strong>and</strong> principal<br />
in the district is eligible to be nominated for the award.<br />
A panel of 36 judges consisting of retired <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong><br />
<strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> principals <strong>and</strong> teachers conducted a<br />
thorough selection process by reviewing the nomination<br />
packets <strong>and</strong> selecting teachers <strong>and</strong> principals whom<br />
the judges observed firsth<strong>and</strong> in their respective<br />
schools. The judges selected finalists for interviews<br />
<strong>and</strong> used a point system to determine the winners.<br />
One teacher, judged as the most outst<strong>and</strong>ing, is<br />
selected from each SLPS elementary, middle, <strong>and</strong><br />
high school <strong>and</strong> awarded a $1,000 cash prize. Eight<br />
principals judged as the most outst<strong>and</strong>ing are also<br />
awarded $1,000 each. In addition to the cash prize,<br />
the winning teachers <strong>and</strong> principals receive a plaque<br />
to be prominently displayed in their school <strong>and</strong> a<br />
desktop award for their office or classroom. Each<br />
non-winning semifinalist is presented with a<br />
Certificate of Excellence.<br />
For the 2011– <strong>2012</strong> school year, seven principals<br />
<strong>and</strong> 76 teachers received the Awards of Excellence <strong>and</strong><br />
the $1,000 cash prize.<br />
Winning principals were honored with their awards<br />
in the presence of their peers at the SLPS year-end<br />
principals’ meeting in May. Teacher awards were<br />
presented during special recognition programs <strong>and</strong><br />
award ceremonies at their schools. The Pettus Awards<br />
of Excellence for 2011– <strong>2012</strong> will be announced<br />
publicly in August.<br />
“In the past five years, nearly 400 <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong>s teachers <strong>and</strong> principals have been honored<br />
with the Pettus Awards of Excellence. Many of these<br />
outst<strong>and</strong>ing educators are still with the District, working<br />
hard every day to help our students succeed. We<br />
are grateful that the Pettus Awards program provides<br />
us with an opportunity to recognize their important<br />
contributions,” said Chris Lee, Executive Director of<br />
the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong>s Foundation.<br />

Philosophies<br />
“<br />
Commitment can mean many different things. It can be an amount of time,<br />
a sacrifice of yourself for others, or even improving one’s own abilities. I believe that an effective<br />
administrator is one that shows true commitment to its staff, students <strong>and</strong> district. True commitment<br />
attracts <strong>and</strong> inspires people. My commitment is seen through my vision for our school,<br />
the plans to carry out the vision, <strong>and</strong> the time I am willing to spend to see the vision through.<br />
I am committed to helping others set <strong>and</strong> achieve their goals, improving my own abilities <strong>and</strong><br />
providing an instructional program conducive to personal <strong>and</strong> academic success of our students.<br />
James Harris<br />
Principal, Yeatman-Liddell Preparatory<br />
Since the beginning of dawn, educators have been saying, “All children<br />
can learn.” In my quest for excellence, this will become a reality.<br />
One of the many acquired traits from having served as a law<br />
enforcer has been the ability to focus on the goals <strong>and</strong> missions with<br />
follow-through to successful completions. Being a product of the<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong>s, it has become my strong belief that all<br />
students should be afforded the opportunity of achieving academic<br />
success – from whence forth comes the fulfillment of their ultimate<br />
goals beyond secondary education.<br />
As an educator, I staunchly support the endeavors of this school<br />
system as we forge ahead to make a difference in the lives of our<br />
students. The myriad teaching <strong>and</strong> administrative experiences, along<br />
with the ongoing participation in numerous <strong>and</strong> varied support<br />
mechanisms, has allowed me to gain competence; <strong>and</strong> has given<br />
me leverage to accomplish my objectives.<br />
These objectives are accomplished in several ways. From day<br />
one, it is imperative that your staff know your expectations. Using<br />
ISLIC st<strong>and</strong>ards as a guide to achieving student achievement are<br />
tantamount to a “how to fix it” manual.<br />
You have to be able to articulate a vision of high st<strong>and</strong>ards within<br />
the school community. The expected behaviors <strong>and</strong> goals must be<br />
modeled <strong>and</strong> demonstrated to all stakeholders. The role of leader in<br />
communicating the vision is one of high priest. You have to be able<br />
to define, strengthen, <strong>and</strong> articulate enduring values, beliefs <strong>and</strong><br />
cultural str<strong>and</strong>s that give your school its identity. The climate of the<br />
school should promote constant improvement.<br />
David Marler<br />

Every teacher will say that they care for <strong>and</strong> nurture mathematics<br />
learning within their classroom. The question becomes, what<br />
makes my classroom st<strong>and</strong> out amongst those. I would have to say<br />
that it is my dedication to making mathematics real for them.<br />
For the past several years, my students have brushed up on their<br />
math skills <strong>and</strong> explored algebra skills by my integration of fantasy<br />
football into the curriculum.<br />
Everything from adding <strong>and</strong> subtracting fractions to the<br />
distributive property, to rounding are tied into the fantasy football<br />
lessons. Every student starts to see how mathematics is tied to<br />
everything we do.<br />
My expectations for their achievement are matched but not<br />
exceeded by my expectations for their character. Each student has a<br />
goal for the class as well as a goal for themselves. Character plays a<br />
major role in my classroom management which then sets the stage<br />
for learning to take place. I like to think of myself as teaching the<br />
“whole” student <strong>and</strong> not just the part that will allow them to do<br />
well on a test. There are so many things that a kid will learn in my<br />
class that no test will ever be able to measure. They learn things<br />
like kindness, compassion <strong>and</strong> humility which helps them to be<br />
able to ask questions when they’re stuck or express themselves<br />
when they cannot always find the right words.<br />
Former students will come up to me <strong>and</strong> tell me that they are<br />
learning things that I’ve already taught them. They will come to me<br />
<strong>and</strong> tell me that they are in advanced courses because they had<br />
been in my class. I do know that because of me, this world is a little<br />
better place to live because of the students I’ve helped mold in <strong>and</strong><br />
outside of the classroom.<br />

Teaching allows me to turn information into a story in which the<br />
children can relate. This is an advantage because storytelling makes<br />
learning more fun. This method allows the students to interact not<br />
only when the story is over, but also while it is being told. <strong>St</strong>udents<br />
tend to become very bored when information is droned out, <strong>and</strong><br />
they are expected to absorb it while losing interest. Using story<br />
interaction allows me to help students better underst<strong>and</strong> any<br />
information given, <strong>and</strong> allows students the ability to create<br />
inferences with a higher level of accuracy.<br />
<strong>St</strong>udents today face many more issues than in the past. They need<br />
to feel as if their ideas matter <strong>and</strong> they want to know that someone is<br />
listening <strong>and</strong> cares. Interaction in the classroom awakens the mind<br />
<strong>and</strong> the students feel a sense of belonging. As teachers, we feel a<br />
sense of accomplishment when our students make the connection<br />
between past <strong>and</strong> present events. I feel accomplishment when I can<br />
help students look at all sides of an issue before they make decisions.<br />
My goal as a teacher is for students to challenge the many interpretations<br />
of the past <strong>and</strong> to support their findings with documented<br />
proof. No matter where you are in society, you need to be able to<br />
present your ideas clearly <strong>and</strong> persuasively. I stress effective writing<br />
by assigning periodic writing assignments <strong>and</strong> giving positive<br />
feedback to all students. Improvement in writing skills is expected<br />
<strong>and</strong> necessary for continued growth. I also stress creativity by<br />
assigning oral assignments with h<strong>and</strong>s-on techniques. This includes<br />
assignments ranging from signing the Preamble of the Constitution<br />
to creating advertisements for a mock business. All students should<br />
have the opportunity to learn <strong>and</strong> be excited about learning.<br />

Carr Lane VPA Middle <strong>School</strong><br />
The classroom environment we create determines our student’s<br />
educational outcomes. Below is a list of 10 common practices that<br />
are a part of my daily routine.<br />
1. Talk to the students. I have hall duty everyday <strong>and</strong> even<br />
though I only teach a few of the students on my floor, I still speak to<br />
them every period in the halls. Things like how are you doing?<br />
Having a nice day? I like your shoes. How hard is it to compliment a<br />
student? It’s not, so make it common practice in your daily routines<br />
<strong>and</strong> you will be surprised at the results (especially when you have<br />
to redirect them in the hallway).<br />
2. Set them up for success. Call on students when you know they<br />
know the answer. Don’t call on a student who wasn’t listening<br />
because you know they won’t know the answer. What good does<br />
that do? You will find a direct relationship between the level of success<br />
in class <strong>and</strong> the number of times a student participates. If you want<br />
your students to participate, set them up for success.<br />
3. Don’t put the students on the spot (especially in front of their<br />
peers). If students are in the back of the room talking, you don’t<br />
have to yell out their names <strong>and</strong> tell them to be quiet. Get eye contact<br />
with them <strong>and</strong> in a subtle fashion just shake your head no. Most of<br />
the other students won’t even recognize you doing this <strong>and</strong> you<br />
have just redirected your students without saying a word.<br />
4. Show praise. Giving verbal praise to your students in the<br />
classroom makes a huge difference. No matter how small the success<br />
let them know that they did an awesome job!<br />
5. Call home. Calling home <strong>and</strong> writing letters to parents/guardians<br />
when their child has had a GOOD day will go a long way.<br />
6. Laugh <strong>and</strong> have fun. There is nothing wrong with having fun<br />
while you are teaching. The educational process can be fun <strong>and</strong><br />
the more enjoyable it is for the students, the more they will want<br />
to participate.<br />
Dr. Nicole Conaway<br />
Principal, Mann Elementary <strong>School</strong><br />
I believe that we must educate the whole child <strong>and</strong> create a wraparound<br />
with home, school, <strong>and</strong> community. When we all work<br />
together, we make it happen for all children. At Mann, our motto is<br />
“Make it Happen… No Exceptions, No Excuses.” I have challenged<br />
everyone to define their “it.” What will they make happen this<br />
year? Parents, teachers, students, <strong>and</strong> I created our “it.”<br />
Additionally, we have three goals at Mann. We incorporate<br />
guided reading, Positive Behavior Systems (PBS), <strong>and</strong> Response<br />
to Intervention (RTI). Through guided reading, we meet students<br />
at their level. With PBS, we teach appropriate behaviors <strong>and</strong><br />
reinforce positive behaviors. Together, we set high expectations<br />
for all. Through RTI, we look at data to determine the needs as a<br />
team <strong>and</strong> deliver research based interventions for all students.<br />
We have a “power hour” throughout the day where students are<br />
delivered instruction in a small intensive group.<br />
We analyze data <strong>and</strong> have students keep track of their own<br />
data to set goals for learning. We have set up a system where<br />
no matter where you come from, you can reach the stars. We<br />
partner with the Little Bit Foundation, Urban Futures, Assistance<br />
League, Catholic Charities, <strong>and</strong> Springboard to provide students<br />
with the essentials in order for them to succeed in school. Once<br />
their basic needs have been met, we then reach <strong>and</strong> teach all<br />
children. The students really take ownership for their learning.<br />
As you can see, we look at the entire community of learners<br />
to create a wrap around to meet the needs of all children. We<br />
make it happen…no exceptions… no excuses!<br />

John Wright, Jr.<br />
experience in both regular <strong>and</strong> special education classrooms. My<br />

It is my belief that education is not something that is limited to<br />

interested party may review it.<br />
The Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA),<br />
implemented by President Obama in 2010, was created in<br />
order to improve child nutrition in response to the rise of<br />
childhood obesity <strong>and</strong> to provide new guidelines for the<br />
National <strong>School</strong> Lunch Program (NSLP). Section 205 of<br />
the HHFKA sets forth a federal m<strong>and</strong>ate requiring all<br />
participating schools in the NSLP to raise the price of a<br />
paid lunch in order to generate enough revenue to cover<br />
the costs of implementation of the Healthy Hunger-Free<br />
Kids Act 2010. In order, to be in compliance with this<br />
law, the Special Administration Board has approved a<br />
price increase of $.10 for all paid meals for the upcoming<br />
school year, <strong>2012</strong>-<strong>2013</strong>.<br />
The following meal prices are for the school year <strong>2012</strong>-<br />
<strong>2013</strong>. Breakfast is free of charge to all students; the new lunch<br />
prices are as follows: Elementary $1.10, Middle $1.20 <strong>and</strong><br />
Secondary $1.35. Reduced meal price is $.40 for lunch.<br />
“In accordance with Federal Law <strong>and</strong> U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, this institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. To file a<br />
complaint of discrimination, write USDA, Director, Office of Adjudication, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20250-9410 or call toll free (866) 632-9992 (Voice). Individuals who are<br />
hearing impaired or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339; or (800) 845-6136 (Spanish). USDA is an equal opportunity provider <strong>and</strong> employer.”<br />
Under the leadership of its Board Chair Valerie Bell,<br />
<strong>and</strong> with a new business plan <strong>and</strong> energized <strong>and</strong> committed<br />
board of directors <strong>and</strong> staff, the Foundation looks to further<br />
strengthen its partnership with the district. It will<br />
collaborate even more closely with SLPS in the months<br />
ahead to advocate <strong>and</strong> raise funds for Dr. Adams’ top<br />
priorities of improving Early Childhood Education, College<br />
<strong>and</strong> Career Readiness, <strong>and</strong> <strong>St</strong>udent Health <strong>and</strong> Wellness.<br />
“As student performance continues to advance <strong>and</strong><br />
the district makes steady progress towards regaining its<br />
accreditation, we are excited about the prospect of working<br />
together so that the district will be successful in addressing<br />
its most critical priorities,” Ms. Bell explained. “We will<br />
be reaching out to the entire community to help support<br />
this important effort,” she said.<br />

Asbestos Management<br />
Plan Availability<br />
Asbestos containing building materials<br />
(ACBM) are present within various<br />
schools throughout the District. In<br />
accordance with the Federal Asbestos<br />
Hazard Emergency Response Act<br />
(AHERA), an accredited inspector <strong>and</strong><br />
management planner have completed<br />
a review of the locations, quantities<br />
<strong>and</strong> friability of the asbestos containing<br />
materials <strong>and</strong> have prepared an<br />
assessment <strong>and</strong> response action plan<br />
to reduce exposure to asbestos fibers.<br />
Copies of the asbestos program for<br />
all schools, which includes current<br />
inspection reports, are located in the<br />
Operations office located at 801 N.<br />
11th <strong>St</strong>reet, <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong>, Missouri.<br />
Please note that one copy is also<br />
required to be kept at the school itself.<br />
The plan is available to the public for<br />
inspection without cost or restriction<br />
within five working days after receiving<br />
a written request for inspection.<br />
Hours of availability <strong>and</strong> a<br />
copy of the form,<br />
“Request for<br />
Inspection<br />
of Asbestos<br />
Program,”<br />
will be<br />
provided<br />
upon request.<br />
Should a<br />
request be<br />
made for a copy<br />
of the report or<br />
parts of the report,<br />
SLPS may charge<br />
up to $0.25 per<br />

LEAD-BASED<br />
PAINT HAZARD<br />
REDUCTION PROGRAM<br />
Since 2001, the District has implemented<br />
a Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction<br />
Program to reduce potential hazards<br />
associated with lead-based paint within<br />
our school buildings. City lead inspectors<br />
<strong>and</strong> numerous third party consulting<br />
firms have partnered with the District<br />
to provide testing, analysis <strong>and</strong><br />
assessment of potential lead-based<br />
paint hazards inside <strong>and</strong> outside our<br />
schools. In addition, the District has<br />
performed various lead abatement <strong>and</strong><br />
interim control projects over recent<br />
years in response to our testing data.<br />
Copies of all testing information <strong>and</strong><br />
abatement records are available upon<br />
request. We are also available to discuss<br />
current lead abatement <strong>and</strong> interim<br />
control projects being undertaken by<br />
the District. If you have further questions<br />
please contact the Office of Operations<br />
at 345-4669.<br />
